How Do Rocks Walk

How Do Rocks Walk?" 
How does pain drain?
Is it all contained within a limited brain?

And yes yes if air could breath
It shall never deceive 
Upon the path of incredible dreams 

It seems it seems that those of us who never dream 
how could the clouds weep and rain?

I asked a flower full of red and yellow
And it stayed in place while I gazed, amazed:

One of its petals turned to the east beyond the meadow, 
across the fields toward a river that spoke and babbled

And there within my sight, I saw a figural whose shape 
was as a heart of mind. 

A torrential eddy swallowed the soul of mine.

Poet's Notes: 

The poem poses thought-provoking questions about nature and human experience, invoking curiosity and contemplation. It explores existential themes, pondering the limits of human understanding. Hypothetically attributing trustworthiness to the air, it delves into the realm of dreams and their emotional depth. A captivating encounter with a vibrant flower sparks enchantment. Whimsical elements, like a petal turning and a talking river, add to the mystical atmosphere. Symbolizing interconnected thoughts and emotions, a figurative object resembling a heart is observed. The concluding line speaks of a soul engulfed by intense turmoil, leaving room for reflection. Overall, the poem combines introspection, vivid imagery, and philosophical questions to inspire wonder and contemplation.
